Van Zyverden Catawba Grape Vine Root

Is it really true - only wineries can grow grapes? Of course not! They can be grown by anyone and are one of the most widely produced fruits in the world. There are, however, many different types of grapes with some more suitable in the home garden than others. Grape vines like humus-rich, medium moisture, well drained soils in full sun. The more sun the sweeter the fruit. Not picky of soil conditions, but best sited in a sheltered location away from winter winds. The variety is self-pollinating Vitis labrusca Catawba, is a American grape that produces copper red berries. Greenish flowers appear in spring, giving way to grapes later in the season. This grape is often used for wines (blush and rose) , champagnes, jams and juices
